Flexibilty In
Staffing Levels And Skill Sets
No one likes to lay off staff, but the
unpredictable nature of demand sometimes
requires it. On the other hand, recruiting
candidates with the appropriate skill sets and
experience and bringing them up to speed in your
environment can be a daunting and time-consuming
proposition - diverting resources from your core
mission.
Outsourcing companies like Rheal have more
projects and can thus manage staffing capacity
much more efficiently. If you don't need our
developers anymore, we just reassign them to
something else. Outsourcing allows you to
transform your IT budget from a fixed to a
variable cost.
Experience
There are three broad areas of IT expertise
- Business Analysis (knowing how a business
works and how software can improve things);
- Technical Skills (the power cord is
connected to the power supply, the power
supply is connected to the heat fan, etc); and
- Project Management Skills (what has to
happen to get some work done on time and on
budget).
Your company may be good at all these things
or at none of them. IT outsourcers may also be
good at all three or at none of them. The market
is fragmented and it's hard to judge quality
unless you already know somebody who has worked
with a company before. One way to find out would
be to hire a consultant who can assess the
outsourcer. Another way is to execute a short
project with the outsourcer. If you are
considering a long-term relationship, either may
be a smart investment.
Flexibility
Offshore Software Development is synonymous with
flexibility. When facing a large project but of
short duration, you can use Offshore programming
to limit the number of new employees and
administrative support personnel. Rheal
allows you to double the number of programmers
you have access to and better yet, we are just a
phone call away.
Cost Benefits
For start-up companies, the benefits of Offshore
Software Development can be monumental for the
simple fact that it allows you to go farther on
your VC funding. The costs of Offshore software
Development are much lower than hiring
programmers to fulfill your design. Our past
experience with our international clients makes
us very confident that we will deliver the best
possible quality, at significant cost savings to
you, every time! . Offshore outsourcing
price-wise is hard to beat.
Independence
Offshore
development offers another major advantage:
independence. Most software vendors or investors
cannot conduct independent analyses of their own
or their competitors' products. Rheal not
only performs development work but also can
obtain the competition's software for evaluation
purposes for clients. This ability allows us to
ask the questions you want answered and not
disclose client identity.
